ADANGEROUS FOLLY.

The folly of attempting to redress a
wrong by the application Of lynch law
came very near having serious illustra-
ton in this city not many days ago. If
there is any offense in the category of
crimes which deserves this summary
sort of punishment it is rape. Nobody
ever regretted the lynching of the raw
Usher of female virtue, consequently
there is growing popular opinion
that the brutal perpetrator of this
heinOus crime ought to be taken right
out and swung to the nearest
tree or most convenient lamp-pest with
out formality of law. The other day the
good people in the eastern part of the
city were Mortified to learn that mar
ried woman had been ravished in her
own house. Naturally there was the
greatest Indignation over the supposed
crime and a great many hot-headed
people wanted to lynch the supposed
offender on the spot. Fortunately the
officers of the law succeeded in getting
the alleged criminal behind the bars
before mob could be organized. Now
1t turns out that no crime had been
committed. The woman whose pitiful
story had enraged the good people of
the east end to desperation proves to be
an abandoned person with state prison
record. And the young man whom a
wrathful populace wanted to hang turns
out to be respectable individual of in
duStrious habits, member of a reputa-
BILE labor society, and as innocent of
crime as the angels. Thus the horrible
folly of even contemplating a resort to
lynch law finds striking Illustration.

MONTANA,S INSANE.

No MORE important question will
come before the Montana legislature at
its extra session now being held than
the determination of a proper dispesi-
ton of the territory's insane. Hitherto
it has been the practice to give over the
care of insane to private individuals
under contract. That abuses should be
incident to this method of caring for
the unfortunateS was inevitable. 1t is
quite inconceivable that private persons,
however excellent their intentions, can
as well care for the demented entrusted
to their care as territorial institution.
And when to ignorance or lack of
facilities on the part of the keepers is
added, a desire to maintain their charges
at as low a rate as possible, in order
that the greatest amount of money can
be made out Of the contract, the care of
the insane patients is likely to be des-
perate indeed. AS the wealthiest terri
tory Montana is we'll able to build and
maintain an insane asylum that would
be credit to her and which, provided
with experienced physicians and every
equipment known to science, would do
much toward decreasing the prevalence
of insanity in the territory. 1t would
certainly very markedly ameliorate the
condition of the insane at present under
contract care.
The matter is one that should at once
engage the attention of the legislature,
and before another year passes the
manner in which Montana cares for
those who are unable to provide for
themselves should rebound to her
credit instead of to her disgrace.

AN INIPENDI ISSUE.

The dearth of political issues this year
is very we'll exemplified in the Virginia
canvass. The main issue raised by the
MAHoNITEs against the Virginia Dem
ocracy is that Gov. LEE, who is a
Democrat is in the habit of going to the
theater. MAHoNE who leads the Re-
publican column, is waging the political
fight On that issue with all the energy
and earneStness that he displayed on the
battle field twenty odd years age, when
he was in command of a rebel infantry
division. 1t is a foolish sort of an issue
as everybody must concede; but we
want to give Gen. MAHoNE and the
Republican leaders fair warning that it
is the kind of artillery that shoots both
ways. If MAHoNE wins a victory on it
in Virginia, the Minnesota Democrats
will take it up next year. Gov. MCGILL
and ex-Gov. HUBBARD were at St.
Paul theater one night this week, and
both of them laughed everytime that
one of KATE CAsTIEToN's sky rocket
kicks went off. 1t all depends on the
Virginia campaign, whether, or not this
hilarious conduct on the part Of the two
eminent Minnesota statesmen will be
construed into political offense.

Only a Personal Row.

WASHINGTON, Sept. IA dispatch
was last night received at the depart
ment of state from United States Con-
sui Brigham, at Paso del Norte, con-
tanning an account of the assault made
upon him by the Mexican Judge Zubia.
The consul in his dispatch makes 70
suggestions or comments save the state
ment that he offered no indignity to the
judge, or did anything that could be
construed into an insult. The matter is
regarded at the department as one per-
sonal to the parties concerned, and no
international complications are eX-
pected to result. The telegram has
been placed upon the files so that it may
be held in readiness to answer, in case
any complaint is made against the con-
sui by the Mexican government.

WILLARD REDIVIVUS.

HENRY WILLARD displays buoyant
qualities which indicate that more than
a financial shipwreck is required to
send him to the bottom.
He has been coming to the top for some
time past, and it is not at all unlikely
that he will soon again be floating on
the top wave of popularity, and SKIM
ming once more the crest of the finan-
cial sea. When three years ago an I'M
fortunate combination of circumstances
resulted in the deposing Of Mr.. WI
LARD and his RELOCATION to obscurity
the Northwest viewed the denouement
with intenseregret. 1t knew WILLARD
well and liked him.
1t recognized the fact that he had
done much for this wonderland, a rec
ognition that found fitting expression
i'll the grand reception given him i'll st.
Paul at the opening of the Northern
Pacific railroad. Now that it has been
developed, as reported in yesterdays
GLOBE, that WILLARD has imbibed too
much of the spirit of Americanism to
remain underneath the heap, but is
likely soon to be as much on top as ever,
the Northwest will be glad and will eX-
tend him its congratulations.
And the fact that backed by the men
who, even in the time of his misfortune,
never lost confidence in him, he may
again assume prominent position in
the directories of the roads he once
ruled, is an illustration of the wonder
full possibilities in American business
life, particularly in the field of finance,
which Mr.. WILLARD has SO well shown
his ability to cultivate.
We hope that this time WILLARD is up

traffic was 40 per cent, or 4 per cent.
more than for June, and for August it
will reach about 40 per cent. 1t is haul
ing daily shipments to Chicago of
from 1000 to 10000 barrels, the
Minnesota 81 Northwestern taking about
1000 barrels daily. Rates are held
firmly to the new schedule, and as yet
there is no complaint of Irregularities
in through rates. The Burlington &
Northern still holds off from putting in
its new tariff, the action depending
upon the outcome of negotiations pend
ing at Boston between the Burlington
and the Burlington 81 Northern com
mittees. There has been considerable
delay in the efforts to bring about con-
solidation, but no one doubts that ulti-
mately the terms will be arranged and
the consolidation consummated. In the
meantime the Burlington q Northern
stands ready to give its ten days notice
should the exigency require that it
should take that step. The Wisconsin
Central is waiting for the result of the
Northern Pacific annual election, and
Its course in northwestern affairs will
be influenced to large degree on the
outcome OF that deal.

Further Tales Told About the Baltimore

News.

1t has leaked out that the modest
little st, Paul q Duluth road has the
human infirmity of ambition. Seven
teen years ago the Hon. William f..
Banning, who was the protector of the
road, declared that the lake route would
at last be the great controlling route for
freight between the Atlantic and the
Pacific, and when the road was first
opened it was formally dedicated at the
little depot at the foot of Third street in
very neat little address pronounced by
his daughter, during which she poured
together two bottles of water, one from
the Atlantic and the other from the
Pacific, as illustrative of her fathers
idea and the uniting of the two oceans
by the completion of the st. Paul &
Duluth road. 1t seems that the road is
to furnish another illustration shortly,
or the signs of the times will fail. 1t is
now stated, on what seems to be good
authority, that the road now has several
parties in the field surveying route to
Omaha. One party is now or was few
days ago, in Northfield, surveying a line
in the general direction of Mankato,
while other similar parties are surveying
southwest of that point and in the
general direction of Omaha.

A Sweeping Order.

The Manitoba yesterday issued the
following order, which will be found to
be of great interest to people along the
line of that road:
Except in instances when the general man.
ager or general superintendent shall ex-
pressly direct in writing, the location of ele-
vators, warehouses; coal yards, lumber yards
or wood yards, for outside parties, on any
main track, or at less distance than fifty
feet from the center line of a main track, or
at a less distance than $50 feet from any of
the company's freight or passenger depots or
water tanks will not be permitted. Outside
parties must not be suffered to place any
structure upon, or to take possession of, or
to do any work, or place any materials for
building, on the right of way of this COM
pany for railway purposes until written
lease or permit therefor shall have been first
properly executed by both parties, and the
ground to be occupied been precisely desig-
mated by stakes set for that purpose.

Observation-Disclosures
What 1t Is Doing and What Is
Thought of Its Rate Cutting.

Chicago Times: 1t is stated as fact
that the Minnesota & Northwestern is
at the present time doing close to so per
cent. of the merchandise business west
bound, Chicago to Minneapolis and st.
Paul. That company has succeeded in
convincing the merchants and jobbers
of those two cities that it is their bene-
factor and takes the credit of being the
prime factor IN lowering the through
rates, to which, to be sure, it is entitled,
as it made the first practical move in
that direction. 1t, however, to large
extent, stole the thunder of the Burling-
ton & Northern in doing what the latter
had merely threatened to do. Had
not the Burlington restrained the
Burlington & Northern it would have
put in an equally as low schedule
two months before the action taken by
the Minnesota and Northwestern. The
claim of the latter that it was equally
the friend of the Chicago merchant is
not borne out by the course it is pursu-
ing. Only recently it made reduction
on rates from ST. Paul to points on the
Illinois Central in Iowa, where the adj
vantage has hitherto been in favor of
Chicago, and by combination of the
through rates via Duluth is making
similar rates into Northern Iowa from
the Atlantic Seaboard as can be made
via Chicago. Of the -four business cut
of st. Paul and Minneapolis, the Bur-
lington IL Northern still more than holds
its own. Its july percentage of the

point of death at his residence,

when the steamer was a few days out

GROUNDLESS FEARS.

There is a good deal of unnecessary
apprehension of trouble expected to be
occasioned by the assembling of the
Grand Army at st. Louis. In fact, the
discussion that is going on in the st.
Louis papers over it is doing more to
create this apprehension than anything
else. The Wheeling episode is cited as
proof that there is to be trouble The
wild talk of such empty pated fellows
as FUTILE and others of his ilk is
quoted as evidence of it. But all these
things amount to nothing. The fools
are in the minority in the Grand Army
organization. The majority of the
Grand Army men are wise enough and
strong enough to keep the fools in sub
lection. They will not permit few hot
headed politicians to lead the national
encampment into repetition of
the disgraceful folly that was ex-
hfbited at Wheeling. And the same
is true of the people of ST..
Louis. The Grand Army people will
be their guests and they will be treated
according to the established laws of
courtesy and hospitality which are no
where better understood and observed
than in st. Louis. II any st. Louis citi-
zens want to testify their respect to the
nations chief magistrate by hanging
ous CLEVELAND banners in front of
their homes they have perfect right to
do it. If there is any Grand Army
meraber whose loyalty is at so low an
ebb as to be capable of disrespect to the
highest Office created by the constitu-
tion of his country he will have the
right to manifest his lack of patriotism
by walking on the opposite side of the
street. These rights of individuals are
well enough understood by both the
Grand Army members and by the
people of st. Louis. There is no
reason to apprehend any conflict

EXPRESS COMPANIES.
They Are Not Subject to the Inter-
state Law,

New YORK, Sept. LIN June last the
interstate commerce commissioners
ordered the express companies to file
with them on Sept. briefs on, SIS the
federal law regulating interstate COM
merce applicable to express compan-
ies?" Upon receipt of the order all the
express companies set about, through
their respective legal counselors, to
obey it. To-day Clarence Seward, for
the Adams Express company; Mr.. Nc
Farland, for the United States Express
company; Mr.. Chesholm, for the South
ern; Mr.. Pomeroy, for the National and
American Express companies, and
Messrs. Blanding and Pilsburry for
Wells Fargo. submitted their briefs to
the commissioners. Mr.. Seward, in his
opinion, expresses himself substanti-
ally as the other legal gentlemen in
theirs, so that his conclusion is that of
all, He says: ''The Adams Express
company is not in any sense one of the
common carriers to whom the interstate
commerce act in any way relates.''

A LIVELY LECTURE
Given the Pittsburg Grocers by
Judge Cooley.


Judge Cooley.
WASHINGTON, Sept. Recently an
association of wholesale grocers in
Pittsburg filed with the interstate COM
merce commission protest against any
change as asked by New York shippers
in the present system of freight classifi-
cation as between car loads on the one
hand and smaller quantities on the
other; but added that they deemed it
unnecessary to enter into any argu-
ment on the subject other than to say
that the said classification is, in their
opinion, just and fair to all concerned"
Judge Cooley, acknowledging the re-
celpt OF the letter, comments as follows
upon the diSinclination occasionally
manifested by parties in interest to
argue their cases before the commission:
Allow me to say that this course is neither
fair to the commission nor business like
Any such question as is presented by the New
YORK petitions has two sides. One side will
be strongly presented by the petitioners and
al the considerations advanced will tell in
IneIr favor. You appear to assume that the
commission will infallibly discover the con-
slderat1ons bearing on the other side, and
you refrain from giving assistance | beg to
remind you that if you treated your law suits
IN the same way you would generally get
beaten, even When justice was ON your side
The court needs the aid of the parties, and it
will get but imperfect views of the case with
out it. You may think the railroads will pre-
sent all that can be said, but this is very I'M
safe reliance; they may think it for their in
terest before the cases are concluded to yield
to the petitioners claims. Railroads make
frequent changes in their classification and
Tor aught we know they may be perfectly
willing to make the one now demanded. The
commission is exceedingly DESTROYS to ad-
minister the new law Justly and according to
its spirit. But in order to do this it is nee
essary that it have assistance from such per-
zens deliberately withhold such assistance
they will be fairly estopped, if they find that
decisions are made to their detriment, from
making any complaint. 1t is not in the ma
ture OF things that the commission should
not sometimes be misled when only one side
OF a controversy is presented.

A Timber Cutting Case.

WASHINGTON, Sept 1.-Acting Sec
rotary of the Interior Muldrew has re-
quested the attorney general to direct
the United States attorney for Wash
ington, Ferry, to investigate the alleged
cutting of timber by contractors of the
Northern Pacific company for construc-
tion purposes on the Cascade branch of
that road. This action was taken in
consequence of the report of Special
Timber Agent Frost to the effect that
the railroad is denuding the public
lands of their valuable timber without
regard to law or to the rules and regu-
lations Of the land Office. The com
pany claims they have a rightto the use
of this timber for construction pur-
poses, but the agent alleges that the
timber is used for repairs.
